Mel Gibson axed from Hangover 2
10.21.10
It was only a couple days ago that the story hit that Zach Galifianakis was “in deep protest” over something in Hangover 2. A few sites speculated that he might be upset about Mel Gibson’s cameo role. That seemed a little premature to me, and I don’t do speculation unless I have a really good picture of a doggy to go with it. Well today it seems that they were probably right, as the fallout from pack of N-words gate continues.
Mel Gibson has been cut from “The Hangover 2″ because the cast was pissed at the notion he’d be in the flick. TMZ has been hearing about the discontent among cast members all day. We’ve been told Mel had been cut from the movie.
Warner Bros. went radio silence for most of the day and finally surfaced, saying through director Todd Phillips, “I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov and his team. But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”
We’ve known Mel Gibson is kind of crazy for a long time, right? Remember that whole movie he made about the Jews killing Jesus? My point is, he might be racist and is almost certainly crazy, but that doesn’t mean he was bad at his job. It seems a little hypocritical not to work with him. You want to refuse working with anyone who might be racist or sexist? Good luck finding a construction worker.
I know this makes me a Nazi sympathizer or whatever (and I apologize for the icky sincerity here), but I don’t think you should get to eavesdrop on a private conversation and then judge a person based on what you hear. (Update) As someone just pointed out on Twitter, Mike Tyson is a convicted rapist, and no one seemed to have a problem with working with him on the first movie. This smacks of a phony PR move, and until Mel Gibson is actually proven to have DONE something, and not just said some naughty words, blackballing the guy is worse than anything he’s actually done. Sorry, I’ll go back to making silly Photoshops now.

I hope this movie gets raped by a House Party remake.
The beaver’s still working with him, right?
I don’t think you should get to eavesdrop on a private conversation and then judge a person based on what you hear.
But seriously though, Monica Lewinsky is a whore.
Whatever Mel Gibson can do, Gary Busey can do it with 80% more crazy, and 20% less racism.
I enjoyed Maverick as much as the next guy, but when you hear (eavsdropping or otherwise) someone tell his wife he’s gonna burn their house down but only after she blows him, it just makes my comfort level around that person hit the fucking floor, much like she did when he backhanded her with the beaver puppet.
I can’t wait to hear what Mel has to say about the Greeks!
Losing Mel is one thing, but I’d hate for them to cut the pack-of-enn-words rape scene too. I was looking forward to it.

Meanwhile, Gibson responded by saying “Fuckin’ Kikes.”
Mel Gibson denied a movie role by an an actual Jew director? DON’T GIVE THIS MAN MORE AMMUNITION.
I’ve worked in the construction industry my entire life. I find this post offensive. The assertion that construction workers are either racist or sexist is just plain false. Like many construction workers I am both racist AND sexist, and I deserve the same consideration as the rest of us.
If you thought those phone calls were bad, wait until you read his treatment for the sequel to What Women Want.
can’t we all just get along?
the more I think about this the more it pisses me off, fuck zach galafinakis
How to speak Mel Gibson:
*presses record** Sugartits, kike, whore & negro
PRIVATE CONVERSATION
BEER
Vodka. Mel Gibson for beer.
Well to be fair, Mike Tyson never asked the girl to SMILE while she blew him. Preposterous … we all know that only happens in porn.
Come to think of it I don’t think he even ASKED her to blow him. *looks up “rape” in the dictionary*
Nope, definitely not.
I would think that, of all the people in Hollywood, the cast and crew of an over-the-top “raunchy” comedy like this one would be the last group of people to throw a grade school hissy fit about a Mel Gibson cameo.
The guy is a good actor, and as has been pointed out, isn’t even as nefarious or IRL evil as the guy whose lame cameo was in the last film. Where was everyone’s integrity and taste before this?
Last I checked, Greeks were no friends of Jews, Blacks, or women, so this uncalled for outburst from Galiagfoanfiakis is wholly unexplainable. It’s not like Mel was accused of animal abuse…
THIS JUST IN:
In light of Mel Gibson’s departure, Michael Vick has signed on to play the cameo role in Hangover 2. The small but vital role will be re-written to revolve around dead dog jokes.
but when you hear (eavsdropping or otherwise) someone tell his wife he’s gonna burn their house down but only after she blows him, it just makes my comfort level around that person hit the fucking floor…
Confidence, perhaps, since he didn’t deliver, but what about respect?
I might see this movie… but Bradley Cooper will BLOW ME FIRST!!!
Tomorrow morning Mel will presumably experience The Hangover 3D.
“I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov” is code for “don’t blame the Jews.”
Even if Zach G et al had wanted Tyson fired from the first movie, they didn’t have enough clout back then to demand a Diet Coke. The other consideration here is that it might be disruptive to a comedy to have America’s Most Despised make a cameo. Tyson hasn’t inspired much hate since the 90s.
By the way, I was never entirely sold on Tyson’s rapishness–when he was in his prime, *consensual* sex with him must have felt like consensual vehicular manslaughter, and a jury could have been convinced to convict someone that scary looking of sinking the Bismarck. More importantly, since when does this comment section look askance at rape? Mos Eisley of the Internet indeed.
Mel Gibson > Russian Whore
Racist icon > New fat fabs
Protesting hipster > Change in my pocket
Jews > Orange Julius
Godlessness > Cleanliness
NFL Tattoos > Breast cancer
The League > Always Sunny
Good entertainment > Snarkiness about the bad stuff
You know, because movies about roofies, gay chinamen, black drug dealers, abandoned babies, single-mom strippers, Holocaust rings, and convicted rapists carry a certain level of prestige.
Hollywood Liberals. I’m going with Emanuelle Lewis on this one; FAGGOTS.
Hollywood is FUCKING DEAD. Sean Connery once told an interviewer it was ok to give a broad the back of your hand from time-to-time, and the Queen of England (a broad) made him a FUCKING KNIGHT. I’m officially DONE with anything these hacks do. And Hangover is the most overrated comedy since Meet The Parents.
btw, per some douschey POLL, Americans still LIKE Mel Gibson. None of that shit phases us. Meanwhile, Edward Norton won’t allow any of his roles to smoke on camera. DOUBLE FAG.
Oh man, the Fourth Reich is not going to be happy about this one…
Mel Gibson doesn’t get blackballed, he gets whiteballed, and not with any of those cheap jewish whiteballs either.
Zack is a whiny cunt. Fuck this movie.
